Multicentric extra-abdominal desmoid tumors arising in bilateral lower limbs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extra-abdominal desmoid tumors preferentially affect the shoulders, arms, backs, buttocks, and thighs of young adults. Multicentric occurrence is rather rare but seems to be another distinctive feature of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors. In this article we report a rare case of multicentric extra-abdominal desmoid tumors arising in bilateral lower limbs.

Their clinical appearance and progress should be recognised since failure to distinguish them from sarcomata could result in extensive and unnecessarily mutilating operations. Three cases of extra-abdominal desmoid tumours are reported. Two of the patients had tumours arising from multicentric foci in the same lim...

Despite their classification as benign, desmoid tumours are difficult to diagnose and manage. They are prone to recurrence and resection can be debilitating. Rarely, synchronous or metachronous multicentric desmoid tumours occur and may require further excision. Therefore, early detection of recurrence and multicentric tumours is vital. We present a case of metachronous desmoid tumours, and rev...

متن کاملDesmoid Tumor of the Buttock in a Preadolescent Child
Extra-abdominal desmoid tumors are circumscribed but non-capsulated neoplasms of differentiated fibrous tissue arising from musculoaponeurotic tissues. They tend to be locally infiltrative, resulting in a high rate of local recurrence without metastasis, following surgical resection. We report a 9-year-old boy who had a large desmoid tumor in his right buttock that was successfully excised.
